The death of a famous actress at the age of 78… This is the most prominent work in which she participated

Spanish actress Marisa Paredes, whose artistic career was distinguished by the six films she filmed under the supervision of Pedro Almodóvar, has died at the age of 78, according to what the Spanish Film Academy announced today.

Paredes, born in 1946 in Madrid, headed the Spanish Film Academy between 2000 and 2003. She achieved international success thanks to her roles in many films, the most important of which were those directed by Pedro Almodóvar.
The Spanish Film Academy indicated, in a post on the “X” platform, that “Spanish cinema lost one of its most important actresses, Marisa Paredes, who had a career that made the audience watch her in more than 75 cinematic works.”
Paredes’ acting career began when she was fourteen, before taking on a new dimension after her first collaboration in 1983 with director Pedro Almodovar in the film “Dark Habits.”
Almodovar and Paredes then collaborated in “All About My Mother,” “The Flower of My Secret,” “High Hills,” and “La Belle Quiabito,” which dates back to 2011 and was their last collaboration.
Marisa Paredes received an honorary Goya Award in 2018, and has appeared in international productions such as “Life is Beautiful” by the Italian Roberto Benigni, and “The Devils Backbone” by the Mexican Guillermo del Toro. (lbc)
